Friends since we were kids and I've always been very attracted to her?

Ok. I'm male, she's female. She has advised me that she has problems with showing affection because of the way she was brought up. Ok, she's always at my place or I'm at hers. Before she had her own apartment, she would spend the night on a regular basis. When it was financially possible, we would go out, for the most part on me. But anytime I make mention of the attraction I have, she makes me feel as if there is something wrong. If she doesn't share the attraction, but still comes around on a regular even after I go over and beyond to make it known, why does she still come around so much? And to add to my confusion, the last time I was at her apartment, she put a porno in the DVD and acted as if I was crazy for wanting "some". Should I just leave well enough alone and quit chilling with her? Like I said before, we've been friends since we were kids and I just don't want to throw it away, but frustration over whelms me when I'm around her because I can't show any affection.

Update:

Ladies, I think I'd prefer your advice on this one. Give me some hints/tips on how to take this friendship to the next level without ruining the friendship.

    I totally have a guy friend like that. He recently married and has a baby...told me a few years ago that right after we met he wanted to get with me but I was with someone else at the time. We used to hang out all the time and it was good...but now he will only text me (see I mention not calling) when he wants me to send him some nudie shots or pictures of myself in lingerie. IT totally hurts my feelings and makes me feel cheap. If I were you I would stop spending so much time with her and find other people to hang out with. She's just stringing you along because she knows she can. Women are beatches.....I should know since I can be one at times myself.

    You have got what it takes to help her in opening up( your friendship). I don't think I'd go too fast with sex but I would try to take it at a speed where she is comfortable. Watching porn, to me says it could be working but REMEMBER she has problems with showing affection. If it meant to be it will happen, if not I think the friendship would be more important to you anyway. RIGHT?

    Obviously, she likes you too. As she mentioned, she had hard times showing her affection in the past. Her actions speak louder than words.

    Help her to overcome this feeling of her. (having a hard time showing affection)

    Interesting. I think you should keep hanging around her, but not so much that she still thiks you still have an attraction toward her. That's cute though, you've been friends forever.
